NEW AoUEDUCr BRIDGE.
A Draw Necessary for the Purposes of
Navigation.

Navigation.
The Secretary of War yesterday sent to the
House the report Of the board of engineers
on the reconstruction of the Aqueduct
bridge. In a letter accompanying the re-
port the Secretary states that he approves
the recommendations so far as to authorize
the construction Of the bridge without draw,
so that there may be no delay in the progress
Of the work; but informs the House that
the absence of draw would be an obstruc-
tion to navigation.
A letter from Chief Engineer Duane,
which accompanies the report, states that
the board finds, on investigation, that the
Potomac river above the Aqueduct bridge
is now navigable to the foot Of the Little
Falls, distance of three miles, by vessels
drawing fifteen feet OF water. The board
also finds that, with moderate expendi-
ture for removal of two narrow reefs, a
navigation of twenty feet can be carried to
the Chain bridge. lie refers to the quarry
interests above the Aqueduct and says they
should be encouraged by the construction
of q draw.
